Folder Bar and IE list issues

1 Can't change that text color or the arrow image.

2. Pretty sure u can't skin the border around the fav section, The blue arrow there... also unskinnable.

The buttons and text up top are skinned via your toolbar icons.

You should also skin the Toolbarsplit and Toolbarsplitdropdown buttons in Vista to have IE and Explorer function correctly.

Thanks for the quick reply....I sorta figured that the folder bar text and arrow were not skinnable...I was just hoping they were...the default colors do not go with my blind at all!  Yuck!

In that fav section that is to the left of the tabs in IE7, there is no button for the mouseover that I can tell....all I have is the classic color mouseover...I think it is from the All Programs panel of the start menu.  That isn't too bad, but I cannot see the text on mouseover.  My system mouseover text is green.  The color of text for the mouseover must be the same color as the mouseover itself...the mouseover is a light beige kinda color.

All of my other drop down menus are skinned correctly as I wanted.

Can you post a lil screeny so i know exactly what u mean?

Dont really go with any blinds...Aero

I hope I got this right.  As you can see, there is a beige mouseover color, and the text is not visible on mouseover

Not an image I'm afraid, they are going to be in your system colors section, and off course being so will affect other areas of the theme when changed. Try to use some outrageous, noticable colors in the system colors that match those colors for that area.. then you can see which color is affecting what.

I'll be on Vista a bit later if you can't find the correct ones.

Okay....I'll go and play with colors now....will post back what happened...

Thanks!

I monkeyed with the system colors and couldn't get anything changed....this is nuts!  I am about ready to give up!  I can't/won't upload a skin that looks like crap!

I'll have a look

K..

Favorites window in IE7 (Vista)

Here is the rundown...

Default text = System Colors > Window Text color

The Selected text (MO) color = System Colors > Selected Item

The selection color (block) is System Colors > Buttonface

Selected Folder text =  System Colors > Selected item text

Thanks!  My pc is shut down for the night.  I only have XP on my laptop, so i can't do this here.  I don't even have SKS 6 on the laptop.  I'll work on it in the morning when I get up....and post back here.  I hope it works!

Well there will be a way to make it work.. how much it alters your base theme is another story.

Good luck

There should really be a color map section in the wiki.. it is ever so often a pain in the *ss to get the colors right... great info vstyler.

im buying a notebook and devoting it to scribbles and colours....(think of proffessor henry jones seniors book about the goblet)

Kitty, I already have a notebook for Vista!  Any time I figure out something, I jot it down in notepad and print it out for future reference...lol.

Anyway, this is the best I could get the text, without totally mucking up the skin....at least I can see the text under the mouseover.

Thanks so much vStyler for all your help on this!

Yup... looks 'bout like most of mine in vista.. difficult to get much contrast there.

Well done
